Sen Ryan Taylor at MSU


This coming Wednesday, August 1st, Sen. Ryan Taylor will be in Minot to roll out the child care policies he would propose as governor.  This announcement will be held during a press conference on Wednesday morning at 9:15 am in the Fisher Room at Minot State University Student Center.  You are all invited to join him for this announcement and help us fill the room, and if any of you are directly involved in or have retired from child care or early education or any other related field, we would be happy to have you stand behind Ryan to show your support as well.

The Fisher Room is located on the second floor, north side, right above the bookstore in the student center.  Easy access can be made by taking a right hand turn after you enter the student center/administration entrance and using the elevator and/or stairwell. The Fisher Room will be half way down the hall to your right.

I hope you will plan to join us, and should you know of anyone who might be interested in hearing about his proposals re: child care, please invite them along as well.
